[ice cream week] no churn mississippi mud ice cream + a giveaway


what says summer better than ice cream? unfortunately, ice cream can be tricky and time consuming to make. the thought of whipping some up pretty much never crossed my mind.

i discovered no churn ice cream thanks to beth a few weeks ago, and i gotta say, there is no better way to make some ice cream quickly. it's rich, creamy, tastes amazing and is the easiest thing ever! you can customize it any way you want, from simple vanilla, to fruit, to richer flavors like chocolate, peanut butter or caramel. it's a total blank slate. keep the base - whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk - the same, and add any flavor combination you please.

i've got some great memories of having mississippi mud cake at mary ann's in fairhope, sans pecans. it's a super rich, moist chocolate cake with marshmallows galore, and i knew it would transfer to ice cream seamlessly. needless to say, my friends and roommate devoured this stuff.

 

no churn mississippi mud ice cream


1 14 ounce can condensed sweetened milk
2 cups heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons hershey's special dark cocoa
1 cup mini marshmallows
1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

in a large bowl, beat heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. fold in condensed sweetened milk, cocoa, marshmallows and chopped pecans. once combined, put into freezer safe container. top with additional marshmallows and pecans. freeze for 6 hours or overnight.

popcorn week: caramel corn pistachio ice cream sandwiches + a giveaway


i'll be totally real with y'all: these were ridiculous. despite drippy pistachio ice cream getting all over the floor and more chunky, sugar rush goodness than you can imagine, i really believe these popcorn pistachio ice cream sandwiches have a place in this world.

if you want to whip up this tasty, summertime treat, you've got a few options that lend for some creativity. you could pop up a bag of salty, buttery popcorn, melt down the marshmallows and then combine the two to form your "cookie" mixture. or, you could do what i did, and buy some crunch n' munch caramel corn with peanuts mixed in. keep in mind, this option is a lot sweeter.

these were so messy - as you can see from the photos - but delicious!

popcorn pistachio ice cream sandwiches


1/2 bag of caramel corn crunch n' much (or, substitute with a bag of buttered popcorn)
4 cups marshmallows
5 tablespoons butter
2-4 scoops talenti pistachio ice cream
peanuts (optional)

in a large saucepan over low-medium heat, add butter to pan and melt. stir in marshmallows. stirring constantly, wait for marshmallows to melt into a creamy liquid. put your popcorn (either pre-made caramel corn or buttered popcorn) in a large bowl, and pour marshmallow topping on top. stir to combine, then quickly spoon mixture on to a large baking sheet covered in parchement paper. flatten the mixture in an even layer.

pop the baking sheet in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to allow it to harden. take a large glass, cookie cutter or any item that can be used to form a circular shape, and press into the layer of popcorn and marshmallow to form your "cookie" halves". plop a scoop of ice cream in between two halves, and enjoy, and have some napkins on hand!
